Nights in Rodanthe

Nights in Rodanthe (2008) is George C. Wolfe's romantic drama you can watch online on iFILM. Adrienne, a mother of two on the edge of divorce, comes to a tiny coastal town in North Carolina to mind a friend's inn for the weekend. Only one guest is booked.

That guest is Paul Flanner, a surgeon traveling to reconcile with his son and to face the family of a patient who died on his operating table. Two tired adults, a beach house on stilts at the water's edge, and a storm that strands them together for a few days. Diane Lane and Richard Gere share the screen for the third time here, and their easy chemistry carries the whole picture. Viola Davis and Scott Glenn round out the cast.

It's adapted from a Nicholas Sparks novel, the same author behind The Notebook. This is a calm story about a second chance later in life — no rush, no irony, postcard Atlantic shorelines instead of effects. It suits anyone who wants a quiet romance for one slow evening.
